Did you know there are visual effects production houses in Tijuana of all places? Not only that, but these companies are involved in feature-length and episodic animated cartoons, as well as 3D augmented reality for handheld devices.
Boxel Studio is at the center of this effort. Andres Botello, the mastermind behind it all, takes us on a tour of his production facility and we get to see what the staff are working on.
Next, we take a trip to wine country where Japanese Chef Toshiaki Tsutada introduces us to some beautiful and elegant sushi dishes at Baja Omakase.
